He decided to use the money to invest in a snazzy Fuji X-T4 camera to produce creative videos for his YouTube channel.His creative videos are full of split screens, special effects and catchy montages. And now, his channel has garnered over 150,000 views, and he has received the ultimate compliment from his granddaughter:"Don't worry, Grandpa can fix it.

“I’ve been a technician pretty much all my life. I was one of the few people in our department that could work a very complicated piece of equipment, it was called a Charisma.“It was a video effects machine that enables you to do split screens and move the picture around and defocus a picture, you could do all sorts of fancy effects. You don’t see these effects on television anymore, because they look a bit naff to be honest with you.

John Swinney backs Humza Yousaf in SNP leadership raceDEPUTY First Minister John Swinney has announced that he is backing Humza Yousaf in the SNP’s leadership contest. So much for the promise by Swinney he would be neutral on the leadership contest. Highlights the panic in the Humza camp. So far 4 tweets by the National on Humza.
